i was wondering if when you install down pipes if you need to pull out anything in order to install them and if so how hard is it to install them yourself. thanks

well if you had downpipes you have to at least drop the transmission to get to the old cast ones but i see that you have an N/A in that case you wouldnt have downpipes

It can be a little tight in there to pull out the stock downpipes. Keep a can of PB Blaster to help break loose those bolts as they have a tendancy to get stuck. Hit the bolts with PB blaster before you start the job, is about my only advise besides what was mention previously above.

What downpipes are you replacing the stockies with? Split downpipes? If so ebay or SpecialtyZ/etc?
